Welcome to a new and very exciting chapter in the life of this site.

If you were a member of GoldenAgeComics.co.uk you maybe wondering what in the blue blazes is going on!

Well, GAC as it is affectionately known was founded in 2006, which in internet terms makes it almost a veteran. This was the site that really trailblazed the scanning and downloading of Golden Age comic books. But the clock ticks on, it was beginning to look tired. Also, as with all of us of advancing years, some bits were not working quite as well as they used to.

So, the time had come for an overhaul, to bring the site back to its former glory. You are now viewing the beginning of this journey. There is still a long way to go, but at least the process has begun.

We thought that with the addition of Silver Age comics, fanzines, pamplets and other ideas in the pipeline, the name GoldenAgeComics.co.uk was not truly representative of the sites new direction. Plus of course it was not a UK site, even its servers are based in the US. So we are now ComicBookPlus.com ... but it is just the natural progression of GAC, whose DNA runs through every page.

So, welcome one and all!! Here's hoping that Comic Book Plus will last for as many years as GAC before it too morphs into a new being.

Regards,

Mark

GoldenAgeComics/ComicBookPlus looks great.
Thanks for all the work you've put into it, Mark.

I really should look for a new avatar, matching the 'new' site, now.

Damn another thing I haven't tested is changing avatars ... so don't hold me responsible for what your new one looks like:)

alfje · « **Reply #5 on:** April 08, 2012, 02:38:29 PM »

You don't have to test it anymore: it works.

Now I just have to find one I want to keep.......

Okey, dokey, changing avatar works. Mine is now Atome Kid. Anyone note a similarity to an Adam Strange cover? Looking forward to seeing who changes what.

Thank you for the kind comments ... it has been a lot of hard work and also many visits to Stressville .... but being an egotistical old programmer I thrive on compliments and they make it all worth while

Congratulations on your new site and best wishes for much success.
I hope you get at least as much gratification from your efforts as we do in viewing the excellent results.

I like the new look!

Hi, macsanfu, enjoy the comics and references and get stuck in on the forum.

macsnafu · « **Reply #19 on:** May 03, 2012, 02:33:10 PM »

And hey! Viewing the comics online actually works now! It never did before.

I have noticed online views going up. They do look good and don't fill your hard drive

chinaski · « **Reply #21 on:** May 21, 2012, 01:02:47 PM »

What comic is that panel from? I really would like to check it out.

paw broon · « **Reply #22 on:** May 21, 2012, 01:16:39 PM »

I suppose you mean narfstar's avatar, well, I'll leave it to him to explain.

narfstar · « **Reply #23 on:** May 21, 2012, 07:06:34 PM »

That is Crash Kid from Cannonball 1 that I was able to buy and scan thanks to contributions from Talia and Nobby

chinaski · « **Reply #24 on:** May 23, 2012, 11:31:53 AM »

oh. lol. I didn't notice narfstar's avatar, but I think I'll try to read that one too now that you've pointed it out. I meant this picture: image attachment
